Abstract :
The design and construction of an OTEC plant slated to produce electricity for commercial consumption in the near future presents a number of unique problems and is forcing the advancement of the state of the art in ocean structures in a number of fields. The successful deployment of a commercially viable OTEC plant is dependent upon identifying these technology areas and developing a program to insure that any potential program obstacles are adequately addressed.
